Website Care Plan
From 2023, all eseyo hosting clients are required to choose a Care Plan to accompany their annual hosting. This new plan is designed to cover the time and expenses of ensuring that your website remains up-to-date with security and plugin updates, plus the different plan options allow for further regular assistance and reporting on your website to make sure that you are making the most of your online investment. Talk to us today to help with choosing the right plan for your website.
Basics plan
Our automated systems will check your website multiple times per day and will look for updates to the core WordPress version or any of the plugins and tools used on your website. At an appropriate “quiet time” (usually in the early hours of the morning) our systems will update these components and then perform “Visual Drift Testing” to make sure that the website is still working correctly.
You’ll also receive a monthly Care Plan report outlining your website uptime and performance, basic website analytics and a summary of the updates that our systems have performed.
Business plan
This recommended plan contains all of the features of our Basics plan, but in addition, provides you with 30 minutes of time each month to assist with your website.
This may be help with creating and publishing blog posts or case studies, updates to regular content on your website, or SEO Optimisation to your pages. We’ll chat with you about a schedule of activities and will build something to work effectively for you that will help to promote and push your website. We’ll also include the creation of a detailed Google Analytics report to be delivered to you each month showing useful information.
Bespoke plan
For clients who are serious about the regular update and promotion of their website, this bespoke plan will allow you to create a unique package tailored to your individual requirements.
We will schedule to spend a fixed time each month working on your website as you choose. Our initial consultation will help us to determine your goals and to put into action a plan of events. We will then provide you with detailed activity logs and reporting to support this time.
Activities in the Bespoke Plan are similar to the Business plan but may also include more detailed SEO optimisation, creation of new content for your website, conversion optimization to improve the website performance and much more. Packages are available from 2 to 20 hours per month.
Reasons why a care plan is critical for your website success
- WordPress is used by 43.2% of all websites on the internet. (W3Techs, 2022)
According to data from W3Techs, WordPress is used by 43.2% of all websites on the internet in 2022. This is an increase from 39.5% in 2021. That means that two out of every five websites use WordPress. - There are almost 60,000 free plugins in the official WordPress plugin directory. (WordPress, 2022)
The official WordPress plugin directory currently features 59,825 free plugins. Some of the most popular are Elementor, Askimet, and Jetpack. - WPScan recorded 602 new vulnerabilities across WordPress plugins, themes, and core in the first half of 2021. (Wordfence, 2021)
Between January to June 2021, WPScan recorded 602 new vulnerabilities across WordPress plugins, themes, and core. This surpassed the number of reported vulnerabilities in all of 2020. - WPScan recorded over 550 plugin vulnerabilities in the first half of 2021. (Wordfence, 2021)
In the first six months of 2021, WPScan catalogued 552 plugin vulnerabilities in their WordPress vulnerability database.

One of the best and easiest solutions is to always keep your WordPress plugins, theme, and core running their latest versions. - Publishing regular blog/news content helps your website to be found in search.
There are many reasons why your business SHOULD be publishing regular news articles, among these include leveraging current news trend search terms, filling in “keyword gaps” from the rest of your regular website pages, building out “long tail” content to answer specific questions, plus also providing content to support your social media activity. Of course, just publishing news helps remind your website viewers that you’re in business and have something useful to say. - Publishing Case Studies / Project Updates / Portfolio content is the best Google friendly content opportunity you’ll ever get.
Visitors to your website are interested to learn about the products and services you provide, but showing the work you’ve done for other customers is the best way to give these visitors confidence in what your business does. Furthermore, your Case Study content will be crafted to contain all of the relevant key words and phrases that will help when people are searching for the things that
